Juna and Ningsih stepped closer to a small minimalist house that looked shady because of the many flower plants in its yard. Ningsih squeezed Juna's hand out of fear. Fear if he can not control himself when he gets an explanation from the person who owns the house.
Juna knocked on the door a few times. Footsteps were heard approaching from inside there. Before long, the door opened revealing the figure of a large pregnant woman with a surprised face.
Tania was about to close the door of her house again, but Juna's arm made her undo her intentions.
"We want to see you! There's something we want to talk about" Juna assured. Tania finally allowed the couple to enter.
"What's wrong?" Ask Tania without further ado.
"The side needs an explanation. I think it's the right time. After all, it's been too long you've been hiding from him" Juna replied. He then waited outside. He did not want to bother the cousin to talk.
"Where do you need an explanation? I'm dating Juna? Our marriage was annulled because I ran away and you ended up trapped? Or...about my pregnancy?" Tania asked flatly.
Ningsih looked at Tania grudgingly. Actually, he really missed this woman in front of him. They had always been together, there had never been a distance as if they were siblings, but now Tania who was in front of him looked like someone else.
"Everything!" Replied Ningsih tried to dismiss all his thoughts earlier.
"Hhhufft" Tania was seen sighing. Before his flat gaze just now turned sad. Ningsih who caught it seemed to understand, that many heavy things passed by Tania without her knowledge. And of course, he felt guilty about it.
"I'll explain everything" Tania finally said after a few seconds of silence. Ningsih just kept quiet, prepared to listen.
"Since the beginning of proposing to pretend dating was indeed pure as a sense of wanting to help Juna. Because I know, how Om Ata's protective attitude towards you" Tania remained silent for a moment, then again sighed harshly.
"However, over time that feeling changed. Seeing Juna treat you sweetly, I felt very envious. I remember how Bimo treated me before his departure. I want to be in your position. And my love for Bimo also slowly disappeared, changing with the love for Juna, something I should not have felt" Ningsih still listened well to all the words that came out of Tania's mouth.
"But even so, I'm still selfish to want to replace you. So I often tell you that I love Juna very much, and I fear losing him. You are too innocent, just nodding understand. Without you knowing, if in fact I want to assert my position in Juna's life, even though it's not like that. I want you to understand and stay away from Juna. But you don't understand at all. I want to be angry, but again I can't. I was too fond of you" Tania started sobbing. Given how foolish it is to envy Ningsih, and secretly want to expel Ningsih from Juna's life, even though the girl knows nothing at all.
"You knew? Many times Juna said he wanted to end our play. But I forbid it, saying that if our relationship ran aground, surely you would be angry with him for thinking he hurt me. Juna finally collapsed, and that was the reason I always used when he wanted to end our pretend relationship. Without her knowing it, it was just a threat to keep her afloat and always be by my side"
"I tried to be patient and not show my jealousy too much. Until you go to college, and meet Noval. I found out about Noval, I wanted to know all about her, of course not just based on your stories. And I was surprised to learn the fact that Noval is Juna's cousin. And when you say you like Noval, I'm happy. At the very least, I had the chance to make Juna turn to me because you love another man, let alone that is his dearest cousin. I sneerily told Juna that you like a man, and that man is none other than his own cousin" Ningsih stared in disbelief at Tania. It was really inexhaustible to think why Tania to do such a slick.
"Juna was hit, she was down, and I was always by her side, trying to cheer her up. Plus, our parents both began to insist that we get married soon because our relationship was long enough. Until one day, whatever insanity that appeared in Juna's brain, he told me that he wanted our relationship to be really serious. He said he would try to love me, and also try to make me fall in love without him knowing that I had fallen for him for so long" Ningsih really did not expect the madness of the two people.
"And Brother accepted it?" Tanya Ningsih slowly. Tania nodded "iya. Obviously I accepted it, because that's what I've been waiting for all this time. Till......."
"Until?" Tanya Ningsih was curious.
"Until the time of our marriage was approaching, Juna never proved the seriousness of his words. In fact, he had no intention of loving me at all, or trying to make me fall in love like he said. I was stressed, I was sad, disappointed, and that night......." Tania started sobbing, making Ningsih worried. Because after all, Tania was currently pregnant.
"Don't do it, if it makes your heart hurt!" Prevent Ningsih when Tania again wants to open her voice.
Tania shook her head "no! You should know everything. True said Juna, it's been too long to hide everything from you" Ningsih was finally only able to sigh resignedly hearing Tania's stubbornness.
"That day....I stepped on a place I should never have visited. Sister to the Nightclub, drank a lot of intoxicating drinks, and the morning.." unknowingly, Tania again called herself 'Silver' as she used to be.
Ningsih knows where this conversation ends. "Sister woke up with a man beside Big Brother" finally the word came out of Tania's mouth. Ningsih did not know what to react to, either he had to be disappointed, or had to be happy because the child was not Juna's child.
